And people still think Apple has nothing todo with this to get you into a new phone.

It’s been unconfirmed but widely speculated that your two year old + phone slows down and then your battery magically fails. I think we have all experienced it. And it’s not just iPhones it’s everything.

It’s planned obsolescence with the excuse “hey apps have gotten so advanced in two years that your phone is a paperweight”

This is not magic...its science....Li-ion batteries have only so many times that they can recharge...Apple made the monumental mistake of trying to have the software manage around this by doing some advanced power management....without telling anyone....

Also, as the battery nears EOL, the runtime from fully charged decreases and the battery's internal impedance rises -- limiting the maximum current draw. In this case when the processor power draw peaks, battery voltage collapses and the processor crashes. Adding a large capacitor could help ride across these peaks, but Apple did not want to commit the physical space necessary.

Properly managed from a PR standpoint, this power saving software (optional) patch could have been a winner for Apple.

But yet in many years past, I have had many different Li-ion batteries last me 5-6 years before performance fell off sharply.

So why is it modern Li-ion batteries seem to only get 2 years (about) before this happens to them?Seems more like a dirty manufacturing technique that the companies have figured out.But so many people refuse to believe the dirty tricks manufacture do, to make themselves more profit & money.

My Festool batteries have been the best batteries I have ever had. I’ve had my drill since 2011 and the batteries have been charged hundreds of times, lives basically outside in my truck during the hot and cold cycles and they haven’t lost an ounce of their ability. They are lithium batteries. Either size is a factor or there is something else going on.
